When you halt and then resume the rollout of your release, you'll be affecting the same set of users.

When you do a staged rollout of a new release before completing the rollout of the previous release, the new release will use the same group of users as the previous release (depending on the percentage of the rollout).

Your app update will be available to the percentage of users in your staged rollout, but it may take time for the full group to receive the update.

Users won't be notified if they receive a version of your app in a staged rollout.

Set up a staged rollout

When you rollout a production release, you'll select the percentage of users who will receive your rollout. For more information, go to prepare & rollout releases.

If you discover an issue, you can halt a staged rollout to help minimize the number of users who experience the issue with your app.

When you halt a staged rollout, no additional users will receive the app version in your existing staged rollout. Users who already received the app version in your staged rollout version will remain on that version.

Tips for live staged rollouts

During a staged rollout, it's a good idea to closely monitor crash reports and user feedback. Users receiving the staged rollout can leave public reviews on Google Play. Learn how to view your ratings & reviews with the Play Console.
